Stephen King Wants Dick Wolf To Make ‘Law & Order: Vampire Squad’

When you think of TV crime procedurals it is hard for ‘Law & Order’ to not come to mind and Stephen King agrees. In fact, the acclaimed author has an idea in mind for series creator Dick Wolf to interact with his genre by pitching ‘Law & Order: Vampire Squad.’ The franchise is no stranger to spin off, so this isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility, though likely not an idea that I’d hold my breath to actually see this happen.

Here is how the idea came to life online:

You’re not going to think I am serious about this, but I am: I would like to see Dick Wolf add a new show to his franchise–LAW AND ORDER VAMPIRE SQUAD.

Another fan came up with a great intro to the show which also shows that while vampires are being hunted, they won’t just be taken down by humans as:

In the criminal justice system, vampiric-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the undead who investigate these vicious felonies are part of an immortal squadron known as the special vampire unit. These are their stories.

King was openly in support of the idea and agreed with it right before another spinoff was pitched!

Not to mention the inevitable “Special Victims” spin off wherein they focus on the most lurid sexual versions of the vampire crimes… think of all the posters with the vampire carrying the pretty off into the shadows.

There are plenty of vampiric detectives out there and even police though nothing entirely in this style. Unless you count novels, anime, and other such mediums. Plus, with Dick Wolf on board, it could be twice as fun of an idea to see play out on the small screen.

It isn’t like this would be the first time any of the actors from any of the ‘Law & Order’ shows ended up playing vampires either. Perfect examples would be Ice-T in ‘Bloodrunners‘ and Christopher Meloni in ‘True Blood’.
